Modalities

This work draws parallels between biological diversity and the diversity of generative images, examining themes of life, death, and evolution within the realm of the imaginary. The AI-generated images resemble body parts, clothing, microorganisms, jewelry, mineral fragments, fruit, or imaginary creatures that can appear attractive at one moment and repulsive the next. They simultaneously evoke familiar objects and defy complete recognition. The assembly and disassembly of digital textures mimic biological patterns, sharing the same material but differing in organization and appearance.

The four screens, mounted on a metal axis, are divided into square areas in a grid arrangement. In these areas, each image appears and disappears for a while, and then reappears, sometimes slightly changed, in another square. The images are produced using the GAN algorithm (Generative Adversarial Network), activated through two networks working in opposition to each other: the Generator and the Discriminator.

The resulting visualization is complex and confuses our minds. The forms are very familiar yet unidentifiable, shapes we have not encountered before, but which we somehow recognize. As we watch, this hypnotic visuality evokes different associations and familiar possibilities, but our efforts to define, categorize, and understand them are always fruitless.

The same data appears again and again in different forms. Each moment we witness appears as a new formation. A form is born, merges with other forms, transforms, and disappears. This evokes the cycle of birth and death. However, this process of appearance and disappearance does not follow linear time.
